'CSI' star Gary Dourdan escapes jail time for drug charges

Gary Dourdan has reportedly been given a small fine in relation to drug charges from last year.

The former-CSI actor was charged with possessing oxycodone after crashing into two parked cars in June. He could have faced up to six months in jail if he were convicted.

However, he escaped with just a $100 fine after pleading no contest to one count of disturbing the peace, while the possession charge was dropped altogether. A separate charge for drug paraphernalia possession was also dismissed, reports TMZ.

The Los Angeles City Attorney is believed to have dropped the charges because Dourdan has completed 20 hours of Narcotics Anonymous following the incident.
